Our wiki has several templates that are used to structure our articles.
Article Disclaimers[]
![]() |
-omg what's happening
|
Stub is used when the article in question is rather short and lacks information. When in use, {{Stub}} should be on the first line of the page.
the name of this song is currently unknown, so it has been given a placeholder title by us Avatars until further notice. |
Conjectural Title is used when the subject in question has a hypothetical or unofficial title. When in use, {{Conjectural Title}} should be on one of the first lines of the page, below {{Stub}} if needed.
"can you hear the whispers all across the room?" |
Rewrite is used when a section of an article is either not written in a proper fashion or requires citation. When in use, {{|Rewrite}} should be the on the first line under the title of the required section.
What are templates?[]
Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.
Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. {{delete}}
). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.
Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:
- a subpage using {{documentation}}; or
- the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
- the template's talk page.
For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.
Article management templates[]
Nominate an article for deletion[]
{{delete}}
- Add this to an article to nominate it for deletion. It will add the article to Category:Candidates for deletion.
Disambiguation articles[]
{{disambig}}
- If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets afterwards. For example:
- The Prince <-- disambiguation page, with links to:
- The Prince (frog)
- The Prince (human)
- Using {{disambig}} marks an article as a disambiguation page by adding a banner to the article and categorizing it under Category:Disambiguations. Add links to the various articles under the banner.
- For more information, see Help:Disambiguation.
General wiki templates[]
T is for template[]
{{t|<template>}}
- This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.
